Cenetered Webpages: Pub2007 update?

N

Not-a-lefty

Hello:
I spent I don't know how many hours trying to center my websites in
Publisher 2003 before finding this help area, only to find that people have
been asking for years, frequently (there was another one just today), how to
do this, with the answer basically being that "You can't. That's just how
Publisher is. Default Justify Left." And yes, I saw that I can alter HTML
code manually each time I update, but, as all admit, that's just a pain.

I am contemplating upgrading to Pub2007, but I am one of those people who,
sorry, wants my websites centered. Will I be able to do this in Publisher
2007? I hope MS has been listening to us. If not, I have to go elsewhere.
Has anyone gone from 2003 to 2007 and found a huge enough difference to
justify the upgrade? When I went from 2000 to 2003, just the decrease in
Publisher file size alone was worth the upgrade! Thanks for any help.

There is some good news and some bad news to your problem.

In short; you can center webpages only created with Publisher 2000 & 2002

The bad news was the "only".

The good news is, if you use Pub 2000 or 2002 you can center the pages
pretty easily.

What follows is my canned response on this:
========================================
This works only for websites created with Publisher 2000 & 2002.

Each of your html files requires adding the <center> code after the existing
</head> code.

You can go into each html file and do it manually or get the free
ReplaceInfiles program
and make it an easy chore.


"ReplaceInFiles" can be downloaded from:

http://www.emurasoft.com/index.htm

The four boxes require the following information:

Find: </head>
Replace with: </head> <center>
File Types: *.html
In Folder:
(use the button to go to the folder where the html files are located on your
drive)

The bottom four boxes can be left blank.

Note: Once the boxes are filled out and the "Replace all" is selected, the
entries are retained for the next time you use the program.

P.S. One of the kind visitors of this news group told us of ReplaceInfiles
program some time ago; 'Sorry I forgot the individual's name. (Another
unsung hero).
